Really proud of the heart our guys showed tonight. Down over 20 late in the 3rd..forced overtime. Disappointed we didn’t get the W but still something special to celebrate.
Tonight Cole Glasgow became DCG’s All Time leading scorer. What an accomplishment. We r so proud of him!
Jacob Runyan shined (31 points in the 3A state championship game) when the lights were on because of the work he puts in when the lights are off! Jacob deserves success! He constantly is working on his game. Could not be happier for him! His poise and steady play carried us!
Although it did not say it on the scoreboard tonight, these young men are winners! So proud of each and every one of them. Held Waukee to their season low in points with heart and determination! Just needed a few more shots to fall! Love these guys!
Been truly blessed to work with unbelievable coaches, administrators, parents and players over the past 20 years! They are the reason for this milestone! Truly appreciative of their commitment to Mustang Basketball!
Tough night tonight! Extremely proud of the year we had and the young men on this team! In a difficult year with many unknowns, this team persevered and grinded to 20 wins and a state birth! One of the best DCG teams ever. More importantly, quality people!
Bo Huston shot 73% from the field in the state tournament (11-15) from the field! Bo was 6-10 from
@behind
the arc! Bo did not miss a shot in 2 of the 3 state tournament games!
Congratulations to Luke Rankin on his commitment to play college basketball at Dordt College! Excited for his future! Blessed to have outstanding coaches and people to guide him along the way!
Jackson Jones hit 8 state tourney 3pters! He averaged 13 a game in the state tourney and was part of the 3A all tourney team! Jackson hit 58 3pters this season! A new school record. Had 7 3pters vs Pella Christian earlier in the year! Another school record.
Cole really came to play tonight and was a super leader for us! Nice to be able to celebrate this special accomplishment after the game! Congrats on 1000 Cole! Tremendous accomplishment!
Man, I am going to miss these Srs! Cody, Trenton, Dawson, Chase, Logan, Owen, Ethan, TLinds, Tyler T all provided such a positive climate! Great young men that loved one another, took young guys
under their wing and provided a winning culture. So proud of young men they are.
Luke Rankin was 7-7 from the 3pt line breaking a school record for 3pt percentage in game held by Dave Crawford (7-8) 94-95 season! 7 treys ties Doug Heritage, Dave Crawford and Tony Watson for most in a game. Congratulations Luke!

Wasn’t our night! Congratulations to Norwalk. Hit shots in the 1st half and played well. We didn’t quit and showed showed heart the 2nd half! This picture says it all. One of the closest teams we have had here! Appreciate the 4 seniors. Proud of this crew!
DCG’s own Jonny Getting! Does a great job officiating high school and college games in Iowa! Appreciate all the officials and the sometimes thankless job they have! Jonny is superb!
Klay Thompson scores 52 last night. Had ball for 96 total seconds and took less than 20 dribbles.
Team screened for him and got him shots. He moved without the ball. Do not have to dribble and dance with ball. Be efficient!
The DCG Community has lifted us up all year! Savage alert tomorrow! Ankeny Centennial 7pm! One thing we know...if the Mustangs get to Substate...DCG will come! Let’s fill the gym with a Stampede! Thank you DC-G for your great support all season!
What’s a Senior Night without some extra basketball. DCG 63 Norwalk 61 in 3 overtimes! What a battle AGAIN! 4 overtimes at their place! 7 overtimes
total! Fortunate to get the win but respect the heck out of Norwalk! Really gritty and touch team!
This man has been by my side for 17 years. Coach Lauck is DCG Basketball. Not sure what I would do without him. Loves Mustang Basketball. Nothing better than a chest bump or high 5 from this guy.
Loyal assistant and special friend!
How about them Mustangs! Both girls and Guys punch a ticket! So proud of our team and community! Our crowd was amazing! Love the savages! Special night!
